SQL Aggregate

Functions
An aggregate function is a function that
performs a calculation on a set of
values, and returns a single value.

Aggregate functions are often used with


the GROUP BY clause of the SELECT
statement. The GROUP BY clause splits
the result-set into groups of values and
the aggregate function can be used to
return a single value for each group.
The most commonly used SQL aggregate functions
are:
•MIN() - returns the smallest value within the selected
column

•MAX() - returns the largest value within the selected


column

•COUNT() - returns the number of rows in a set


SUM() - returns the total sum of a numerical
column

AVG() - returns the average value of a


numerical column

Aggregate functions ignore null values


(except for COUNT()).
1. Create your own database. – 2pts

2. Ten rows and 5 column. – 3 pts

3. Returns the largest value within the


selected column – 1pt

4. Returns the smallest value within the


selected column. 1pt
5. Returns the number of rows in a set. 1pt

6. Returns the total sum of a numerical


column. - 1pt

7. Returns the average value of a numerical


column- 1pt
